Coverage includes important people in the history of gardening and landscaping throughout the ages; specific sites, both historical and existing; surveys of types and styles of gardens; gardening movements; traditions of specific geographic regions; and materials and techniques. Extensive illustration makes use of photographs (both color and black-and white) as well as dozens of line drawings detailing plans, techniques, and tools. Comprehensive in scope, this will be an indispensable reference for teachers and students of garden history, landscape architecture, and archaeology, as well as for professional and amateur gardeners.
